Hey, Sage. Thanks for replying. NOTE to the list: sorry about the confusion, guys, but I'm new to the list! This is actually a double-post, and I hope to leave the activity and replies to the other thread (since that thread has gotten more responses anyway). I was confused initially about the list address: I originally posted to "ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" - but saw no replies, even as I watched other posts come in. And then it seemed like those new posts were going to "ceph-users@xxxxxxxx", so I thought perhaps my emails to ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx were not showing. Sorry about that! -jf On Sat, Jul 20, 2013 at 11:14 PM, Sage Weil <sage@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, 20 Jul 2013, Jeffrey 'jf' Lim wrote: >> hey folks, I'm hoping to be able to use xfs on top of RBD for a >> deployment of mine.
